Walworth County Sheriff's Department Capt. Scott McClory said a 911 call was received at 12:46 p.m. stating that a woman and a 14-month-old boy were being attacked by two dogs on North Lakeshore Drive in the Town of Walworth.

McClory said two pit bulls were removed from the property and were euthanized by a local veterinarian.

The boy was taken by ambulance to Mercy-Walworth Medical Center, and then taken to Children's Hospital of Wisconsin by Flight For Life, where he died about 3:30 p.m., according to the Walworth County Sheriff's Department.

McClory said the boy suffered critical injuries.

The woman said the dogs were her own. There is no word on her injuries.

WISN 12 News spoke to the son of the property owners where the attack occurred. He said he believed the woman was babysitting at the time, and that the child was not hers.

"(It's) just unbelievable. (I'm) at a loss for words. They're both beautiful parents and tried hard for a long time to have this baby, and now it just got taken away," said family friend Dario Newell.

"I just want (the child's father) to know that I love him, and that we're all here to support him in whatever he needs. We're all here for him," said Emily Dueschen, friend of the child's father.

"When he was with his kid, it was just all smiles. He didn’t care about anything else in the world, and now this happened. It breaks my heart," said Nicole Jennison, also a friend of the child's father.
